This lovely couple gave me some of my best engagement photos up to date. I’m very proud to present to you the wedding photos of Erwin and Betzy! This is part 1.

Ceremony: St. Denis Church

Photos: Bowen’s Art Museum

Reception: Green Parrot Cafe

You might not be able to tell but the dog has a little vest on. Nom nom nom.

Behind the dress, is the refrigerator. Inside the refrigerator is the milk. Betzy really likes milk.

The best bowl cut since Dumb and Dumber.

Betzy!

This of course is Erwin and his Entourage. A very fun bunch.

Here comes the bride…

Make a wish!

When Maribel and Maria have parties, they have them big. Real BIG. They rented out an entire venue for their father’s 60th surprise birthday party. There were at least 300 people there. Not impressed?

They also had TWO food vendors. My favorite being al pastor tacos (shown below). The other was a buffet line. Still not impressed?

They had an enormous bounce house for all the children to run around and use up all their energy, so they don’t bother the adults. Still not impressed? You should at least be a little bit by now. For a birthday? It’s impressive.

This is the adorable Kaylene! Last time I photographed her, she was only 1! Now she’s three, and she can say my name! I love her!

And there’s another one! That’s Kaylene’s little sister (I believe.) Super adorable!

This is Javier! It’s kinda funny, there was an older gentlemen who walked in a minute before he did and I started snapping photos of the other guy. Then I realized it wasn’t Javier.

Okay back to the amazing aspects of the party. They had a full on mariachi. I think there were 5-6 of them, I know only two of them are show in the photo.

I don’t know what these dancers are called, but there were a crew of six very talented dancers.  Still not impressed?

Well if you’re still not impressed yet..they had a full-on band/mini-orchestra in there marching around and performing on stage.

This is the very wonderful Maribel. Thank you so much Maribel!

Maribel dancing with her father.

Back in my day…we had Gameboys.

So if you weren’t impressed by all that you must be a baller. And you need to invite me to your parties! But if you’re like me, I think you’ll agree that this was an incredible party filled with fun and good food.

Thanks again to Maria and Maribel!

Ceremony:  White Memorial Adventist Church

Reception: American Legion Post

Tons and tons of church organs. Amen to that!

There are some things in life I just don’t understand. This is one of them.

Look closely.

This is as happy, as happy gets.

Right after this she yelled “Stop taking photos of me (because she was tearing up) !” I backed off immediately, I didn’t want to get hurt.

Awww

Hey if you want something, you gotta go get it right?

They had a second bouquet toss. And let me explain what’s happening in this photo. In the far left there’s two girls who seem like they’re paying attention. Then there’s the girl second from the right who clearly has the bouquet clearly in her hands. But, the girl on her right has a hold of her wrist, and the girl her left has a grip on her elbow.

After examining this photo for a long time, I still couldn’t figure out what was going.  This would be good for a ‘make your own caption.’

…because Rivka and Ben are ‘in da house!”

This is my first entirely Jewish wedding and not only was it my first Jewish wedding, it was my first wedding with the entire wedding in their house, hence ‘in da house!”

Tell me this isn’t the cutest baby you’ve ever seen?

“oh mister, are these your backpack straps?”

This is what this baby looked like when I saw him playing with my camera bag.

I call this one the point of no return. Ha, just kidding.

It’s supposed to be overflowing. I think it’s supposed to symbolize overflowing joy or goodness.

Putting on the ring.

More scripture? I’m not quite sure what the terminology of the Jewish wedding are.

The unveiling!

Joy.

Love.
